"'Meat' is Frank's middle name. He knows cattle from A to Z and is still assisting William Schoemig, his successor in the market, to select and purchase the best cattle. Aside from business, 'cards' are his next love, with canasta even supplanting his interest in his new television set. "Frank and Ida were married in 1905 and in 1907 came to Amherst where he and his broth ers, August and William, bought Gus Sabiers' meat market. After one year he purchased the business from his brothers and became the solo proprietor. "In the early years of business, hours were long and work hard, and for a while the market was open on Sunday mornings. He established routes to Lorain, Brownhelm and South Amherst, peddling meat from his horse-1 drawn wagons. Aside from his market tasks there were the throe teams to he cared for. One day he startled Amheirtiles by buying n new Ford delivery truck, the first automobile truck in the village. "Frank could never see anyone go hungry and that even extended to animals.
